    Now, https://www.inbeijing.se/bulletin wont appear at all, since i deleted the page with the link going to my worpdress.com site.

    There is still no way I can log in to my www.remarpro.com account. The site on https://www.inbeijing.se/wp is strange in layout, didn’t look like that before.

    I do not understand this, it all happened just because I changed URL to one that already existed?

    I have that problem now, HELP US ! …

    Come on, please. Isn’t WordPress a stronger website tool than it will disappear would you accidentally change to a URL that already exists..

    I even had to create a new username to log in here: my old InBeijing with which a registered the website didn’t exist after I changed the URL?!

    OK – I deleted the entire WordPress folder from my FTP, downloaded WordPress 3.1 again, and uploaded it on my FTP again.

    Result: https://www.inbeijing.se/wp is totally blank, and I can’t log in to my account anywhere.

    So beware all users of WordPress, do not vhange your URL, because then you have to stop using WordPress forever!!

    Would have allowed you to change the url back.

    Should have been to way to go.

    Unfortunately, I didn’t read those posts before I changed the URL in WordPress, and the harm is done already.

    I mean, it says in the WordPress menu that you can change you URL, so I did it right away without browsing any forums.

    Little did I know it would destroy my site, unable me to log in and make it impossible for me ever to launch a WordPress site again on the same domain..

    Honestly, my site is down now and I am losing money by the minute.

    Is there any way to solve this, or should I just change platform?

    OK – I deleted the entire WordPress folder from my FTP, downloaded WordPress 3.1 again, and uploaded it on my FTP again.

    In fact, you’re halfway the ‘moving WP’ proces.

    I changed URL and wp to https://www.inbeijing.se/bulletin

    You need to upload WP to the /bulletin folder and install. That should do the trick.

    If not, check the link that I gave you (look for the ‘change url directly in the database part) to see what the url is. When the WP files are in the folder that the url point to, things should be solved.

    I noticed this URL did already exist before, and is a link that will be forwarded to my old blog/bulletin, that was on https://inbj.wordpress.com

    Hm, that forward should be removed, but this has nothing to do with WP. When you do that using htaccess, remove those lines, when it is a DNS forward, remove it there.

    Thanks, I actually figured it out from the first link you sent me. I was too hot and worried to begin with. It works now!
